Yonkers Raceway Race 5 - Race 5
CHAPTER GEO J (2) made an impressive return last start when a commanding winner over 1609m at this track on May 2, getting home by 6 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Primary contender in a similar race. BOOM CHICA BOOM (4) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 4.5 metres from the winner in third over 1609m at Philadelphia. Taking on a better line-up this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. SIX AND STONES (5) is on the radar after her last-start sixth over 1609m at this track a week ago. ACOUSTIC BLUE CHIP (6) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at this track last time out.

Comes here second-up after a week. Lacklustre first-up performance when 5th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 18 m by Very Busy (1:58.30) in NW2PM on May 9 at $46.21. Needs to do more than he did first-up.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Bruha at Philadelphia over 1609m in a NW2500L5 on May 1 at $4.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Saints Preserve Us at Philadelphia over 1609m in a NW2500L5 on May 7 at $9.50. Can build on that fine effort last start.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 6th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 45 m by Bizzy Brenda (1:58.20) in W2BNMT4 on May 9 at $55.94. The run previous pulled up at Saratoga on March 10 over 1609m. Good enough to make amends in this line-up.
